     Kia ora,

     The StudyUp resources are in the process of being updated, video recordings are being replaced with self-paced interactive online tutorials for those unable to attend the live sessions.

     These online tutorials will soon be uploaded to https://owll.massey.ac.nz/about-OWLL/studyup-resources.php.

     However, in the meantime, there are some old recordings that may be of interest to you (please note that the reference examples in these recordings are formatted in APA 6th Style – see https://owll.massey.ac.nz/referencing/apa-style.php for information about APA 7th Style).

     Up to date PowerPoints for the sessions and available at https://owll.massey.ac.nz/about-OWLL/studyup-resources.php.
